Just yesterday, she shared her sunbeam.

Today, she rode one to Piddler's Green.

Now is the time at Castle Argghhh! when we dance sing a soul to the Great Hunting Ground and Tennis Ball Chasing Facility.  Now there's no one left to just sit on my chest and purr while watching tv.

I *hate* Labor Day Weekend.

Rest easy, Cleo. Your predecessors remember you, and they'll introduce you to your new friends.

Lots of sunbeams to share. Lots of sunbeams...

So sorry, John.  It's hard to lose any fur-family, but cuddly ones especially so.

Awww, I'm sorry.

Mowwwwww!  Many soft napping places, each with a dedicated sunbeam.  And slow mice fed exclusively on catnip.

Oh no, I'm so sorry to hear that! Bug isn't as saddened, as Cleo frequently kicked his little Mexican arse, but it is still a sad day.

Always a classy lady, Cleo took the sunbeam. Nice.

Sorry to hear of your loss. 

She is now in the land of endless sunbeams and kitty rubs -will probably be even more spoiled than she was with you (all cats, forever kittens really) deserve to be spoiled.

I'm so sorry, John. I know what you mean--I love those cats that like to cuddle like that.  *sigh*

Dang.
I knew she had disappeared for a couple of days and came back hungry.  I am so sorry John and Beth.

I had my 19 y/o cat put to rest this afternoon.  She was old and sick, and although I know we don't know how old Cleo is, I know she was sick too. 

Perhaps today was a good day to die, if you're a cat.  For those who love the cat... it's a very bad day.

I would like to place a small healthy offering of catnip on Piddler's Green, for those who have sunbathed before us. I call upon the souls of Isis, Inky, Snoopy, and Lady Jane Grey to convey my offering to the appropriate feline spirits.

I'm so sorry John,

Even tho' the furry folk go from a fine home to a better home, they're always missed since they're part of making that fine home.

I'm sorry, John.  It's never easy to lose a beloved pet, especially one who shows how much they love you back.  Cats that like to sit on you are the best, even when they're getting annoying, being in the way of whatever you're trying to do ;-)

I am so sorry.  Snuggly kitties are the best, especially when they purr.  Tigger left a couple of his kittens who are now the snuggle-cats he used to be.

Sad to hear it John.

I hurt for you.

Now, if one of my kitties would just come over here, I'd hug him/her/it...

Ah, damn!!!  I'm late to this, but my empathy is no less.  My thoughts are with you both.

Shit! Most earnest condolences, and RIP. What a sweety!
 
By Justthisguy on September 5, 2010 5:24 PM
If I may ask, Sir, what was the occasion of Cleo's passing?
 
By John of Argghhh! on September 5, 2010 5:52 PM
Complications from cancer.
 
By Justthisguy on September 5, 2010 5:55 PM
Ow! What I said before, except more so.
 
By fdcol63 on September 5, 2010 6:15 PM

My condolences, John.

Sorry to hear this. It is hard to lose our mouse munchers.  Cleo will have friends waiting, I am sure. I have already asked Jeremy, Tige and Samantha to show her the ropes, plot out the sunbeams, and scope out where the best mice are.
 
By Sean Maloney on September 6, 2010 5:00 PM
 My sincerest condolences, John.

Condolences, John.  No matter how many cats deign to allow a human to serve them, it always hurts when they depart for the Rainbow Bridge and Piddlers' Green.

May another feline soon perch upon your chest, to ease your pain.
